Australian gamers can finally breath comfortably about the PS4, thanks to an interview with Game Informer Magazine. Sony President Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that the PS4 will not require always on connectivity, nor did they even consider it.

It makes sense for people to have Internet connections to play online games, but for offline games there are many countries that we saw [that] do not really have robust Internet”

Avid gamer for many years, self proclaimed "RPG-nut". Believes that all games deserve a chance, whether they are triple A titles or the smallest indie project.

I like to share my opinion on this madhouse we call the video game industry.
